Thanks Don,
I was at the Freightliner dealer Friday, and they had a truck on the lot with my fuel tank on it. Just as you describe, although the pin had two regular size flat washers on it, one for each end, guess they cant make up their minds? Not that its that important, I figure they could get away with none, or the SAE washers, but the full size ones look funny.
I droped my brackets off for powdercoating Friday too, so in a week or two I'll install the brackets and straps.
